Artist's description:

This painting was done using oil on top of a loose acrylic undercoat. It is the first time I have used the grid system which I feel benefited the painting greatly as I was able to compose the painting more freely. I chose this image because I feel it shows a character who is very motivated and ambitious. The aerosol markings and brush stroke heavy background represents his rough upbringing in an urban environment
